TCP half-open

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 203.206.71.93 (talk) at 15:33, 26 May 2009 (tcp half open applies to opening connections too, not just closing connections). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

A TCP connection is referred to as half-open when the station at one end of that TCP connection has crashed, or has otherwise removed the socket without formally notifying the other end of the TCP connection.
